George Square Gardens

It's been a lovely day...just the kind of weather you hope for on your birthday...only a year to go until I'm 30! And a perfect day to stroll around and try and walk off the excess beer and wine that was consumed last night! Here some people are enjoying the sunshine in George Square - this is the heart of the main part of Edinburgh University and a very popular place to bring your books and study in the sunshine. I didn't see anyone studying today, but maybe it's a bit too early for the students...after all exams are only about three weeks away!
